Condolences to the family of Mr. Henry Parham,
Although what we the public knew about your dear one, Mr. Parham, is admired he equally made a good name for himself even after his years of service with the help of each of you - his dear loved ones. “A good name is better than the day one is born” said a famous Proverb. It is precious.
May the scriptural citations on this site give you strength to endure.

A true hero, a true American. As much as we try, we can never truly honor the sacrifices people like Henry made on our behalf. I never had the privilege of meeting Henry, but he will join others whose sacrifices on behalf of us all I try to remember every day.

I remember a while back hearing about him.
From what I remember, I think I remember hearing about his history with the military, and I must say, he’s got quite the impressive record of his military duties and career, and couldn’t be more proud!
He will be forever missed, and others, I’m sure are quite proud of his accomplishments.
R. I.P., Henry, I’m sure you’ve made this nation proud, and I couldn’t have been more proud of hearing about you, like so many others have.
Your family and friends, are forever in our thoughts, hearts, and prayers.
Hugs to each and every one of your family members.
No more pain from the cancer you endured, as you are now pain free!
God bless you ✝✝!!!! M.

While viewing someone else’s obituary I ran across the obituary of an amazing young man, PFC Parham. I want to give my condolences and prayers to his family. Looks and sounds like he had a inspiring well lived life after surviving D-Day in the trenches for two months. I would have loved to hear some of his life stories.
Sincerely,
